Hot Trailer: ‘John Dies At The End’

Here’s a trailer for the sci-fi/horror filmJohn Dies At The End, which was directed, produced and written by cult legend Don Coscarelli. Paul Giamatti stars (and is exec producer) as a shadowy figure investigating a street drug known as Soy Sauce, which promises an out-of-body experience with each hit, causing users to drift across time and dimensions with sometimes unwanted side effects. Magnolia’s Magnet Releasing picked up the film in August and will release it via its Ultra VOD program in December.

I can’t wait to see this. The book was insanely funny, so the movie has a good chance at being awesome, too!

I just read the book like a month ago, it’s actually got a really sharp sense of humor to it, if they can translate that to the screen at all it could be pretty funny. I don’t quite see it in that trailer though.

Coscarelli, as always, rocks. To the poor people who have no joy in watching pure cinema, I wonder why you read this site.

I believe it’s a bratwurst, actually.

…Hollywood has all that talent and millions of dollars at their fingertips.

Why can’t they come up with ANYTHING interesting or creative? :(

… is that sarcasm? have I missed the glut of guys-talking-to-a-hot dog movies that have come out?

If you bemoan this movie as uninteresting and uncreative — what the hell do you want?

you come out here and do it.

Looks interesting. Reminded me a lot of Naked Lunch. And yes, he was talking into a hot dog.

Saw this at the London Film Festival. A very whitty script with some real laugh out loud moments. I guess it’s Bill & Ted meets Videodrome?
